1
00:01:22,767 --> 00:01:24,300
The call came out
that shots had been fired.
I was a new boot.

2
00:01:25,433 --> 00:01:27,266
I was definitely a rookie,
and for a rookie to kind of

3
00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:28,867
walking into the unknown.

4
00:01:29,667 --> 00:01:30,367
My body camera was
already rolling.

5
00:01:41,567 --> 00:01:44,100
My adrenaline was
definitely rushing.

6
00:01:44,734 --> 00:01:45,667
I was driving that night.

7
00:01:46,433 --> 00:01:47,266
We call my field
training officer.

8
00:01:48,467 --> 00:01:50,100
He was sitting on the passenger
side and basically was like,

9
00:01:50,967 --> 00:01:52,266
"All right, it's your show.
Let's go."

10
00:01:56,767 --> 00:01:58,900
We turned down
a residential street,

11
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:01,567
and we get out of the car.
It was dead silent.

12
00:02:02,867 --> 00:02:04,700
I could hear a car that
was revving.

13
00:02:05,233 --> 00:02:05,867
It was pretty eerie.

14
00:02:13,567 --> 00:02:15,066
Go.

15
00:02:15,633 --> 00:02:16,467
The car was still on.

16
00:02:17,567 --> 00:02:19,567
I could see a Black male
sitting in the driver's seat,

17
00:02:20,266 --> 00:02:21,166
and I could see him convulsing.

18
00:02:22,033 --> 00:02:23,700
And every time
the male was convulsing,

19
00:02:24,266 --> 00:02:25,300
the engine would rev.

20
00:02:31,166 --> 00:02:32,567
Climbed in the passenger
side seat.

21
00:02:33,700 --> 00:02:38,000
He looked anywhere
from 17 to 24, maybe.

22
00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:39,500
I mean,
he-- he was young.

23
00:02:44,367 --> 00:02:46,567
I could see that he had
a bullet hole to his head.

24
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,467
There was brain fragmentation
coming out, blood coming out.

25
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,400
And at that time, I was
basically face to face with, uh,

26
00:02:54,233 --> 00:02:57,066
him and kind of saw
his last breath.

27
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,100
And I kind of stepped back,
uh, from there

28
00:03:00,967 --> 00:03:03,000
and just kind of was
like, "Oh, shit."

29
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,400
A field training officer tried
to feel for a pulse,

30
00:03:09,967 --> 00:03:10,800
and there wasn't one.

31
00:03:11,433 --> 00:03:15,000
This was clearly a murder.

32
00:03:41,967 --> 00:03:46,000
We're 10, 12,
15 minutes from Kentucky.

33
00:03:47,066 --> 00:03:48,200
It wasn't odd that
a Kentucky car was parked here.

34
00:03:49,166 --> 00:03:50,367
We run a plate in our car.

35
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,600
We were able to pull up
his driver's license,

36
00:03:55,633 --> 00:03:57,567
and on his driver's license,
it had his face, so.

37
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,867
Identified the driver of as,
uh, 25-year-old Delvin Mitchell.

38
00:04:09,900 --> 00:04:12,266
Dalvin was my best friend.

39
00:04:13,333 --> 00:04:16,367
Technically, his name is
Delvin, but he didn't really

40
00:04:17,567 --> 00:04:18,967
like it that much, so he would
tell us to call him Dalvin.

41
00:04:19,467 --> 00:04:20,100
People loved him.

42
00:04:20,967 --> 00:04:21,667
As soon as he walked in
the room, like,

43
00:04:22,700 --> 00:04:25,166
you're just gonna get that joy,
that --

44
00:04:26,166 --> 00:04:27,166
like, it's like this wind
that comes over you.

45
00:04:30,467 --> 00:04:32,200
Dalvin did a lot of music.

46
00:04:33,233 --> 00:04:35,867
He never was really a rapper,
but he was doing,

47
00:04:36,834 --> 00:04:39,000
like, the-- the, like,
the production of it.

48
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:42,400
He used to hang out at
the house with my son, Blake.

49
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,800
My house used to be,
like, a place where all

50
00:04:47,567 --> 00:04:49,000
the boys would come to
chill out.

51
00:04:50,066 --> 00:04:51,266
So one day, Blake had come
and sat down in my room

52
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:54,400
and asked me if Dalvin could
stay with us, because he didn't

53
00:04:54,967 --> 00:04:55,700
have nowhere to live.

54
00:04:56,767 --> 00:04:58,100
First, I was kind of hesitant,
because I always had

55
00:04:58,533 --> 00:04:59,867
people there.

56
00:05:01,066 --> 00:05:02,467
And then I told her yeah,
then yeah, go ahead, we can.

57
00:05:03,533 --> 00:05:06,367
Then, from there,
me and Dalvin, you know, got us

58
00:05:07,533 --> 00:05:09,567
a relationship as mom and son,
and he just called me Mom.

59
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,166
Oh, he ended up becoming like
my actual brother.

60
00:05:14,033 --> 00:05:14,967
He went from
a friend to a best friend,

61
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:16,266
close friend to a brother.

62
00:05:17,233 --> 00:05:18,900
That's a whole different
relationship dynamic.

63
00:05:19,166 --> 00:05:20,066
OK?

64
00:05:25,767 --> 00:05:28,000
That night, he got killed...

65
00:05:29,867 --> 00:05:31,867
I was asleep.

66
00:05:32,633 --> 00:05:35,200
They woke me up.
Blake called me.

67
00:05:35,934 --> 00:05:37,667
And told me that
Dalvin was dead.

68
00:05:38,500 --> 00:05:40,166
I think I just
shut down altogether.

69
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:41,567
I just got numb.

70
00:05:42,967 --> 00:05:45,100
I got a text message.
It was like,

71
00:05:46,266 --> 00:05:48,400
"There's like a Facebook status
talking about there was

72
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:50,567
gunshots last night.
Y'all be careful, y'all."

73
00:05:51,567 --> 00:05:52,767
So, like, I don't know,
my heart's like beating,

74
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:53,967
real, real fast.

75
00:05:55,166 --> 00:05:57,767
And like, my whole, I like,
fell to my knees because I had

76
00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,667
a feeling that it was him.

77
00:06:02,667 --> 00:06:04,200
And then by the time
I got to the crib,

78
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,367
they-- they told me
it was Dalvin.

79
00:06:08,667 --> 00:06:10,266
I don't really remember too
much of the conversation,

80
00:06:11,166 --> 00:06:13,400
because I was like,
all I seen was red.

81
00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:15,600
Like-- like, who would hurt
my brother?

82
00:06:16,300 --> 00:06:17,066
Like, I don't know, I lost it.

83
00:06:18,166 --> 00:06:19,400
For a long period of time,
for real, I was, you know

84
00:06:19,967 --> 00:06:20,667
what I mean, I was lost.

85
00:06:28,667 --> 00:06:31,166
On scene, it was,
you know, kind of that

86
00:06:32,033 --> 00:06:33,000
tunnel vision to
what we had in the car.

87
00:06:35,867 --> 00:06:37,467
We crime scene off
the entire area.

88
00:06:44,767 --> 00:06:47,367
That's when
the brigade of detectives,

89
00:06:48,300 --> 00:06:51,400
detective sergeants,
the crime scene guys,

90
00:06:51,934 --> 00:06:53,567
started to pile in.

91
00:06:57,467 --> 00:06:58,700
When I arrived on scene

92
00:07:00,100 --> 00:07:03,100
and kind of processed that
scene myself,

93
00:07:03,700 --> 00:07:05,066
just looking at things,

94
00:07:06,367 --> 00:07:09,200
seeing where, you know,
there's a round laying there

95
00:07:09,633 --> 00:07:10,367
on the street.

96
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,266
There's one in the floorboard.

97
00:07:14,266 --> 00:07:16,500
The victim, Delvin,
has been shot in the head.

98
00:07:17,433 --> 00:07:20,066
You're kind of wondering,
is this a setup?

99
00:07:20,500 --> 00:07:21,300
We don't know.

100
00:07:22,533 --> 00:07:24,467
There's all different kinds of
scenarios as a detective that

101
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,000
you run through your head
to try to get it figured out

102
00:07:27,667 --> 00:07:28,367
as soon as you possibly can.

103
00:07:33,100 --> 00:07:35,900
The driver's side window also
had what was consistent to be

104
00:07:36,667 --> 00:07:37,767
a projectile round
through that.

105
00:07:39,266 --> 00:07:42,000
The door was open, so it could
lead to a couple different

106
00:07:43,266 --> 00:07:45,667
things, but it looked like who
had shot him was in the vehicle

107
00:07:46,700 --> 00:07:48,066
or in close proximity to
the vehicle when the shots

108
00:07:48,467 --> 00:07:49,166
were fired.

109
00:07:50,333 --> 00:07:52,200
The violence behind
it was intentional.

110
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:54,767
And you could tell that just
from the amount of rounds that

111
00:07:55,900 --> 00:07:57,200
were sent through the car.
It wasn't just to scare him.

112
00:07:57,734 --> 00:07:58,500
It was to kill him.

113
00:08:16,367 --> 00:08:17,467
Do a...

114
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000
We don't have all the pieces
to the puzzle yet.

115
00:08:25,033 --> 00:08:26,667
It was one of those
eye-opening experiences of,

116
00:08:27,834 --> 00:08:29,400
"Hey, you know, we've got
somebody we know that's shot,

117
00:08:30,033 --> 00:08:30,867
but where's the shooter?"

118
00:08:32,066 --> 00:08:33,700
As you're standing there,
you're just, you're-- you'll...

119
00:08:34,266 --> 00:08:36,200
you see this, you're...

120
00:08:36,900 --> 00:08:37,567
you're asking yourself, "Why?"

121
00:08:38,367 --> 00:08:39,967
And, you know,
it's just a mystery.

122
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,367
Hear in my ear, dispatched had
notified us that

123
00:09:00,367 --> 00:09:03,066
a car was fleeing the area
and other units

124
00:09:03,767 --> 00:09:04,467
were trying to get behind it.

125
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,300
And as it was fleeing,
they could see that the car had

126
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,066
false plates on it, possibly
involved with the scene.

127
00:09:12,266 --> 00:09:14,967
So hearing that in my ear,
I'm thinking, "Hopefully we can

128
00:09:16,066 --> 00:09:17,200
get this car stopped,
figure out who's in the car."

129
00:09:18,233 --> 00:09:19,100
Maybe they're involved with
what happened here.

130
00:09:22,667 --> 00:09:26,166
Officers are initiating
their lights and sirens,

131
00:09:27,133 --> 00:09:28,600
trying to get this guy to stop.
Won't stop.

132
00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:31,200
So now, in the back of
everybody's mind,

133
00:09:32,166 --> 00:09:33,800
they're thinking,
"Maybe he's our suspect."

134
00:09:34,667 --> 00:09:35,400
You know he's definitely
not gonna stop.

135
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,200
It's just a straight
adrenaline dump.

136
00:09:41,900 --> 00:09:43,000
And it's-- it's just a rush.

137
00:09:44,100 --> 00:09:46,667
Like, we have to get this car
stopped at all costs.

138
00:09:47,767 --> 00:09:52,567
And knowing that there's
a possible gunman in this car

139
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,100
the level of threat
just goes through the roof.

140
00:10:04,667 --> 00:10:06,166
2
There was a vehicle pursuit.

141
00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:07,667
We were trying to get
the vehicle stopped,

142
00:10:08,233 --> 00:10:08,700
and it wasn't stopping.

143
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:10,867
So we thought possibly
could be involved,

144
00:10:11,900 --> 00:10:14,367
because it's in the area.
It's fleeing the area.

145
00:10:15,166 --> 00:10:16,100
It could be a piece
of the puzzle.

146
00:10:17,266 --> 00:10:19,467
The sergeant or lieutenant at
the time radioed and said,

147
00:10:20,467 --> 00:10:21,667
"Other counties
and state police are starting to

148
00:10:22,300 --> 00:10:23,066
pick up on this pursuit."

149
00:10:23,834 --> 00:10:25,867
So now
they're pursuing the guy.

150
00:10:27,066 --> 00:10:28,166
But they ended up stopping him
and placed him in handcuffs.

151
00:10:51,767 --> 00:10:54,000
We're thinking this
might be our guy.

152
00:10:54,867 --> 00:10:57,767
He had the false plates
on his vehicle,

153
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,066
and they look suspicious.

154
00:11:30,567 --> 00:11:34,166
I identified the guy
as a subject named Simone.

155
00:11:35,233 --> 00:11:37,700
And Simone was placed in one of
our patrol vehicles,

156
00:11:38,767 --> 00:11:39,900
and that patrol officer
brought him to headquarters

157
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,066
for an interview.

158
00:12:07,867 --> 00:12:11,800
You can tell a lot by
interviewing subjects by

159
00:12:13,066 --> 00:12:16,300
their disposition, how
they act, how they talk.

160
00:12:17,066 --> 00:12:17,900
Are they looking
you in the eye?

161
00:12:18,467 --> 00:12:19,767
Are they looking away?

162
00:12:20,767 --> 00:12:21,700
Simone had some of those,
but you're thinking,

163
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:23,867
"Well, this guy was right there,

164
00:12:24,767 --> 00:12:25,767
and this guy
fled the scene from there."

165
00:13:05,266 --> 00:13:09,400
Simone basically told me
that he had warrants.

166
00:13:09,834 --> 00:13:10,567
He was scared.

167
00:13:11,500 --> 00:13:13,567
Uh, he didn't want to go
to jail.

168
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:15,367
You think,
"Well, maybe they did flee

169
00:13:16,033 --> 00:13:17,367
"because they have warrants.

170
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,800
Maybe-- maybe they have
something else going on."

171
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,700
After we talked to him,

172
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,967
we got a-- a signed
search warrant for his vehicle.

173
00:13:59,033 --> 00:14:02,900
We couldn't find anything that
would tie him to it.

174
00:14:03,700 --> 00:14:05,700
So we released him
from that crime.

175
00:14:08,100 --> 00:14:12,467
It is a little frustrating
because you're thinking,

176
00:14:13,767 --> 00:14:16,266
"Well, this guy was right there
and doesn't have anything to do

177
00:14:16,967 --> 00:14:18,467
with this-- with this murder."

178
00:14:20,367 --> 00:14:21,667
Now you're back to square one.

179
00:14:23,066 --> 00:14:24,367
You've got to take
a broad picture and just,

180
00:14:25,633 --> 00:14:26,667
you don't want to get hooked on
one thing, and this is the way

181
00:14:27,233 --> 00:14:27,800
this happened, you know?

182
00:14:28,967 --> 00:14:30,467
That's a good thing of a good
investigation is you look

183
00:14:31,667 --> 00:14:33,900
broadly and see who all could
be involved in this and what

184
00:14:34,567 --> 00:14:35,100
all possibly happened here.

185
00:14:36,266 --> 00:14:37,867
The suspect that's still out
there didn't like this guy.

186
00:14:38,300 --> 00:14:40,567
I mean, who...

187
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,200
who killed Delvin?
Still don't know.

188
00:14:44,166 --> 00:14:46,100
Don't have anybody else
to look at right now.

189
00:14:53,867 --> 00:14:56,367
So, when you're going through
these investigations,

190
00:14:57,133 --> 00:14:57,867
you want to know
the victim's life.

191
00:14:59,667 --> 00:15:01,100
You want to build the victim...

192
00:15:02,266 --> 00:15:04,266
his own profile.

193
00:15:05,433 --> 00:15:08,367
The more information you gather,
you're starting to build

194
00:15:09,467 --> 00:15:11,967
some sort of a lead to try to
help solve this case.

195
00:15:13,667 --> 00:15:15,967
One thing we're gonna do is
look at his background.

196
00:15:17,300 --> 00:15:19,767
There's a couple different ways
we can do it, Facebook

197
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,767
and interviewing witnesses
and talking to people.

198
00:15:23,767 --> 00:15:26,200
So, as we're investigating
this-- this murder,

199
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:29,900
we start looking at
Delvin's history--

200
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:31,600
'cause we don't have much
to go off of.

201
00:15:32,667 --> 00:15:35,667
He has a report taken under
his name for something

202
00:15:36,633 --> 00:15:38,667
criminal, which wasn't,
like, something huge.

203
00:15:39,467 --> 00:15:41,367
There wasn't anything
of interest

204
00:15:42,367 --> 00:15:44,800
that we would need
or think that we would need

205
00:15:45,367 --> 00:15:47,200
to-- to follow up with.

206
00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:54,166
A short time later,
another detective in the office

207
00:15:55,266 --> 00:15:57,300
had answered a phone call,
and it was a male subject,

208
00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:00,867
and it was named Justin Brewer,
saying he'd like to talk to

209
00:16:01,300 --> 00:16:02,500
Detective Lowe.

210
00:16:03,834 --> 00:16:05,400
Pretty much almost every
homicide we do-- we always

211
00:16:06,667 --> 00:16:07,567
kind of get some type of tip,
or, "Hey, you might want to know

212
00:16:08,066 --> 00:16:08,667
this information."

213
00:16:09,667 --> 00:16:10,967
That's kind of typical
of every case you have.

214
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,200
He said that Delvin
was a good guy.

215
00:16:59,066 --> 00:17:00,100
He's a great guy.
He's known Delvin...

216
00:17:01,300 --> 00:17:04,500
and Delvin's family pretty much
his entire life.

217
00:17:22,567 --> 00:17:26,400
And he also mentioned
a subject named Sean.

218
00:17:27,867 --> 00:17:32,800
And he has either a wife
or a girlfriend that was

219
00:17:33,233 --> 00:17:33,967
named Chasity.

220
00:17:35,166 --> 00:17:37,867
And supposedly, Delvin was

221
00:17:38,734 --> 00:17:40,667
messing around with
this Chasity lady

222
00:17:41,734 --> 00:17:44,900
and maybe we should turn
our direction towards that,

223
00:17:45,467 --> 00:17:46,467
maybe-- maybe Sean's...

224
00:17:47,667 --> 00:17:50,400
mad at Delvin and decided that
he's had enough

225
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,767
and he's going to
take care of it.

226
00:18:00,767 --> 00:18:03,700
When Mr. Brewer talked about
Sean being involved,

227
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,667
so that's something you have to
take in consideration.

228
00:18:07,567 --> 00:18:08,800
Sometimes you have
retaliation killings.

229
00:18:09,700 --> 00:18:11,367
We were very concerned
of the situation.

230
00:18:12,367 --> 00:18:13,166
When the gentleman
that's having an affair with

231
00:18:14,133 --> 00:18:15,100
your significant other does
end up murdered,

232
00:18:16,300 --> 00:18:17,467
you're always suspicious when
anything like that happens.

233
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:19,567
Maybe that could be one
potential motive for

234
00:18:20,133 --> 00:18:21,767
Mr. Mitchell's demise.

235
00:18:22,967 --> 00:18:24,266
We need to interview him to
help us find out where is this

236
00:18:24,700 --> 00:18:25,400
gonna lead us?

237
00:18:32,667 --> 00:18:34,600
2
Mr. Brewer did contact
the police department

238
00:18:35,867 --> 00:18:37,800
on a recorded phone call.

239
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,900
He brought up the information
that Mr. Mitchell was having

240
00:18:42,066 --> 00:18:45,100
a relationship with Chasity,
and that her husband, Sean,

241
00:18:45,734 --> 00:18:46,400
was not happy about that.

242
00:18:47,567 --> 00:18:49,767
Sean's one
that I raised, also.

243
00:18:50,500 --> 00:18:51,000
Everybody thought Sean done it.

244
00:18:52,166 --> 00:18:53,400
Everybody thought Sean done it.

245
00:18:54,300 --> 00:18:54,767
Everybody was calling me,
talking about,

246
00:18:55,467 --> 00:18:56,867
"Sean, we're gonna kill Sean."

247
00:18:58,033 --> 00:18:58,900
Me knowing Sean, growing up
with Sean, like, I knew that

248
00:18:59,900 --> 00:19:01,467
he, you know, he wouldn't do
nothing like that.

249
00:19:02,467 --> 00:19:03,467
You know, but, you know,
no putting nothing past

250
00:19:04,166 --> 00:19:05,166
nobody, though.
We don't know.

251
00:19:06,133 --> 00:19:08,166
We just know that
he's a person of interest.

252
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:10,467
Obviously, we're going to look
at Sean's criminal history,

253
00:19:11,433 --> 00:19:12,166
and he did have a little
criminal history with

254
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,000
disorderly conduct
and lying to law enforcement.

255
00:19:18,066 --> 00:19:20,000
Sean said,
"Mom, I didn't do it."

256
00:19:20,533 --> 00:19:22,500
So, I believed Sean.

257
00:19:23,500 --> 00:19:27,000
So, I went with Sean to
the interrogation place.

258
00:19:36,300 --> 00:19:40,000
I had talked to Sean about
the murder,

259
00:19:41,166 --> 00:19:45,667
and that he's a possible suspect
that his ex-wife, Chasity,

260
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,166
had been seeing Delvin.

261
00:20:15,700 --> 00:20:19,000
That night he got killed,
I had to tell Sean that Delvin

262
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,000
was with Chasity.
He didn't know.

263
00:20:23,567 --> 00:20:27,000
So he got mad and sad
all at the same time.

264
00:20:28,166 --> 00:20:31,367
He said he was a little upset
about that, but, you know,

265
00:20:32,300 --> 00:20:33,767
it wasn't something that
he would go and take

266
00:20:34,433 --> 00:20:35,867
revenge out on somebody for.

267
00:21:14,367 --> 00:21:16,767
Sean said he went to sleep
that night that

268
00:21:17,333 --> 00:21:18,700
that incident occurred.

269
00:21:20,133 --> 00:21:22,667
And he didn't know anything
about it until the next morning

270
00:21:23,133 --> 00:21:23,767
when he woke up.

271
00:21:24,834 --> 00:21:26,200
You have a past conviction of
lying to the police.

272
00:21:27,066 --> 00:21:28,100
You know, why are
we gonna believe--

273
00:21:29,100 --> 00:21:30,500
you're gonna have to show us,
you know, why--

274
00:21:31,266 --> 00:21:32,667
why you're not
involved in this.

275
00:21:43,667 --> 00:21:46,867
He said, "I have an app that
tracks my sleeping pattern

276
00:21:48,066 --> 00:21:50,667
"and it'll show you on my phone
that at that particular time

277
00:21:51,367 --> 00:21:52,700
and day that I was sleeping."

278
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:58,066
So, we looked at his phone,
uh, looked at that app.

279
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,467
He was just being very
honest and truthful,

280
00:22:01,867 --> 00:22:05,400
which, in our minds,
kind of eliminated him

281
00:22:06,033 --> 00:22:08,100
from-- from this murder.

282
00:22:09,166 --> 00:22:11,000
Investigating something like
this is hard sometimes

283
00:22:11,834 --> 00:22:12,700
because it's a little
overwhelming,

284
00:22:13,433 --> 00:22:14,400
but we keep
working our case.

285
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:20,967
Delvin was my biggest fan,

286
00:22:22,066 --> 00:22:24,567
my biggest supporter.

287
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,000
He was always pushing me
to do great.

288
00:22:27,967 --> 00:22:29,367
I remember, like, preparing
for the funeral.

289
00:22:30,700 --> 00:22:32,867
His birth mother
did not want to show up.

290
00:22:33,266 --> 00:22:35,000
She did not.

291
00:22:36,166 --> 00:22:37,367
His sisters welcomed me in,
you know, because they know

292
00:22:37,934 --> 00:22:38,467
that I took care of him.

293
00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:43,266
Then everybody got together
and wanted a picture taken of

294
00:22:43,834 --> 00:22:44,500
all the guys together.

295
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,567
That whole time, like,
I changed to a whole

296
00:22:52,567 --> 00:22:53,000
different person.
Like, I don't even remember

297
00:22:53,633 --> 00:22:54,467
who I was at that moment.

298
00:22:55,633 --> 00:22:56,667
And we were still trying to
find the killer for Dalvin.

299
00:22:57,867 --> 00:22:59,700
So it's just a lot going on
at this moment.

300
00:23:01,100 --> 00:23:02,100
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I can't grieve
at all right now.

301
00:23:02,867 --> 00:23:03,367
Like, right now,
it's just like...

302
00:23:04,767 --> 00:23:06,467
my soul's gone.

303
00:23:07,533 --> 00:23:08,500
You know, I don't even want to
live no more myself.

304
00:23:09,567 --> 00:23:11,567
You know what I mean?
So it really hurt, for real.

305
00:23:12,133 --> 00:23:12,667
And I'm still suffering.

306
00:23:13,700 --> 00:23:15,100
His life was taken.

307
00:23:16,100 --> 00:23:17,166
He didn't deserve that.

308
00:23:18,767 --> 00:23:20,667
There's a lot of people out
here that deserve it,

309
00:23:21,100 --> 00:23:21,767
but he didn't.

310
00:23:33,066 --> 00:23:34,000
A short time later,
the phone rings,

311
00:23:34,900 --> 00:23:37,166
again, it's Justin Brewer,
same guy from

312
00:23:37,834 --> 00:23:38,767
the earlier
communication.

313
00:23:46,100 --> 00:23:49,200
I did find that kind of odd
that another call came in,

314
00:23:49,767 --> 00:23:50,900
so I answered the phone.

315
00:23:52,066 --> 00:23:54,400
He tries to tell me several
different stories about what

316
00:23:55,166 --> 00:23:56,066
could possibly happen
to Delvin,

317
00:23:57,567 --> 00:24:01,500
which, in my mind, I thought
was kind of far-fetched.

318
00:24:02,467 --> 00:24:04,200
I said, "Did you ever meet up
with Delvin?"

319
00:24:05,266 --> 00:24:07,200
He said he was supposed to meet
Delvin on the night

320
00:24:08,100 --> 00:24:09,800
that he was murdered.

321
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,867
And at that particular time,
I don't know that information.

322
00:24:15,033 --> 00:24:16,700
He didn't want to give a whole
lot of information before,

323
00:24:17,533 --> 00:24:19,266
so you're kind of
wondering why now.

324
00:24:37,066 --> 00:24:39,266
So I asked him where
they're gonna meet at.

325
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,100
It's a little apartment complex,
a block and a half away

326
00:24:42,967 --> 00:24:44,767
from where Delvin got shot
and killed,

327
00:24:45,767 --> 00:24:48,667
Where he could get
a bag of weed for his wife.

328
00:24:49,700 --> 00:24:52,266
His wife's name was
Amber Brewer.

329
00:24:52,967 --> 00:24:55,166
She worked for a cab company.

330
00:24:56,233 --> 00:24:59,100
"Driving a cab?"
And he said, "No, no,

331
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,967
"I met in that area,
and I waited all night long.

332
00:25:03,467 --> 00:25:04,000
He never showed."

333
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,467
There was other detectives
in the room with me.

334
00:25:07,500 --> 00:25:09,500
We kind of all just
looked at each other in awe.

335
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,467
He just kind of admitted
being there that night,

336
00:25:14,433 --> 00:25:15,767
close to the area
where Delvin was murdered.

337
00:25:17,667 --> 00:25:19,700
In my opinion,
you're being nosy

338
00:25:20,533 --> 00:25:22,600
because you know something
happened,

339
00:25:23,500 --> 00:25:24,500
and you're wanting to know
what we know,

340
00:25:25,233 --> 00:25:26,467
and I'm not giving
that to you.

341
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,166
After we completed
our conversation, like I said,

342
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,000
did this guy
really just call in here

343
00:25:45,367 --> 00:25:46,867
and give this story

344
00:25:47,967 --> 00:25:49,166
of...

345
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,000
his events that,
in his mind, took place?

346
00:25:54,367 --> 00:25:55,667
It didn't make any sense.

347
00:25:56,633 --> 00:25:59,100
None-- none of his stories
made any sense.

348
00:26:00,300 --> 00:26:02,467
I believe then Justin called
back one or two more times

349
00:26:03,467 --> 00:26:04,367
just trying to kind of feel
the detective out,

350
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,567
"Hey, what do you have on me?"
And then trying to throw shade

351
00:26:08,633 --> 00:26:11,667
on maybe other, to send
the investigation to another

352
00:26:12,233 --> 00:26:13,800
area other than himself.

353
00:26:15,166 --> 00:26:16,900
He kind of admitted that
he was supposed to meet Delvin

354
00:26:17,834 --> 00:26:19,867
very close to where
the incident occurred,

355
00:26:20,567 --> 00:26:22,700
the night that he was murdered.

356
00:26:23,767 --> 00:26:26,066
So we had enough probable cause
to get a warrant for

357
00:26:27,266 --> 00:26:30,900
his phone number to get call
detail records, text messages,

358
00:26:32,100 --> 00:26:35,000
and found out that on the night
of the incident, Justin had

359
00:26:35,433 --> 00:26:36,100
called a female.

360
00:26:38,266 --> 00:26:40,400
Her name's Scarlett.

361
00:26:41,567 --> 00:26:44,100
There were several phone calls
and texts back and forth.

362
00:26:45,166 --> 00:26:46,400
So we all were thinking,
"Is she the side chick that

363
00:26:46,834 --> 00:26:47,867
got involved?"

364
00:26:48,734 --> 00:26:50,367
When you commit a crime
such as murder,

365
00:26:51,166 --> 00:26:51,600
you know,
the wheels are turning.

366
00:26:52,467 --> 00:26:52,667
I'm sure he's looking
out the window.

367
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:53,967
"Did anybody see us?"

368
00:26:55,166 --> 00:26:57,367
He called on somebody that
he had faith in, and maybe that

369
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:58,867
was Scarlett.

370
00:27:00,166 --> 00:27:01,667
We got to talk to that person,
find out how she was involved.

371
00:27:10,567 --> 00:27:12,867
2
We did some further follow-ups
and found additional

372
00:27:13,300 --> 00:27:14,166
cellphone data.

373
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:16,867
Cellphone data does not lie.

374
00:27:19,100 --> 00:27:22,467
The phone data showed that
Scarlett was in recent contact

375
00:27:23,300 --> 00:27:25,100
with Justin the night
of the murder.

376
00:27:26,266 --> 00:27:27,667
There were several phone calls
and texts back and forth.

377
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,000
That was suspicious.

378
00:27:32,266 --> 00:27:34,500
We found out that Scarlett was
living with her mother.

379
00:27:36,166 --> 00:27:39,967
So we went to the mother's house
to try to interview her there,

380
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,700
but she wasn't home,
so we interviewed the mother

381
00:27:44,133 --> 00:27:45,100
at her house.

382
00:27:55,100 --> 00:27:57,000
She was a very nice lady,
and I believe she had some

383
00:27:57,834 --> 00:27:58,867
concerns about
her daughter's safety

384
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,667
since she was involved
with Justin Brewer.

385
00:28:25,266 --> 00:28:28,100
She said Justin ended up
getting dropped off at

386
00:28:29,166 --> 00:28:32,667
Scarlett's mother's house
the night of the murder.

387
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,967
And Justin had come in,
kind of in a frantic-type mood,

388
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,567
very wired, very amped up.

389
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:44,567
Mm-hmm.

390
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,300
According to
Scarlett's mother,

391
00:29:31,500 --> 00:29:33,066
he said something bad
had happened that night.

392
00:29:36,066 --> 00:29:38,700
We were starting to get more
and more information.

393
00:29:39,667 --> 00:29:40,900
She did admit that Justin
was at the house,

394
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,767
that she's a potential not
eyewitness to the murder,

395
00:29:45,767 --> 00:29:47,367
but maybe a circumstantial
witness to a murder.

396
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,867
Do you ever get
100% of the information?

397
00:29:52,967 --> 00:29:53,567
The only person that really
knows that is the person

398
00:29:54,100 --> 00:29:54,667
you're interviewing.

399
00:29:56,033 --> 00:29:56,900
No.

400
00:30:18,467 --> 00:30:21,100
I mean, you could tell
she was scared of him.

401
00:30:22,300 --> 00:30:23,600
She would sit there and talk
to us and smoke, which I'm not

402
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:25,767
a smoking fan,
but it was worth it.

403
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,800
Afterwards, we did some
interviews with Scarlett.

404
00:31:00,133 --> 00:31:02,066
She was not willing
to give up any information.

405
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,467
We tried to speak with Justin,
but he refused to talk

406
00:31:07,266 --> 00:31:08,066
to law enforcement
when confronted.

407
00:31:10,266 --> 00:31:11,767
Justin didn't want
to speak with us.

408
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,900
So we put our attention more
towards Amber, Justin's wife.

409
00:31:19,867 --> 00:31:23,367
In the interview phone calls
before with Justin Brewer,

410
00:31:24,533 --> 00:31:26,400
he did inform detectives that
he had been picked up that

411
00:31:27,300 --> 00:31:28,867
night in Amber's cab to
meet Mr. Mitchell.

412
00:31:30,500 --> 00:31:32,000
And Mr. Mitchell
had never shown up.

413
00:31:33,767 --> 00:31:35,600
We then go to uCabbi.

414
00:31:37,166 --> 00:31:39,800
They did confirm that, yes,
Amber was working that night.

415
00:31:41,300 --> 00:31:43,767
And her cab,
that had GPS tracker in it,

416
00:31:44,667 --> 00:31:46,266
which is always good for us.

417
00:31:47,500 --> 00:31:50,066
And it shows exactly where
the cab was going.

418
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,100
It could be that break moment,
where like, oh, this is it.

419
00:31:57,900 --> 00:32:01,200
There is almost always
information on those devices

420
00:32:02,033 --> 00:32:03,667
that will help us along
in our case.

421
00:32:04,367 --> 00:32:05,266
So you're hoping that happens.

422
00:32:07,767 --> 00:32:09,467
I went into the office
and they had come back from

423
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,166
the taxi cab place
with the GPS information

424
00:32:15,333 --> 00:32:17,567
that showed Amber's cab going
down to the southeast side

425
00:32:18,867 --> 00:32:21,066
and stopping a block or so
from the murder.

426
00:32:23,700 --> 00:32:25,667
So it was kind of nice
to look at the data and go,

427
00:32:26,867 --> 00:32:27,867
"OK, so it puts them at the
scene of the crime at the time

428
00:32:28,300 --> 00:32:28,967
of the murder."

429
00:32:31,667 --> 00:32:34,567
And then, immediately after,
it shows her stopping on top of

430
00:32:35,367 --> 00:32:36,100
Diamond Avenue over
Pigeon Creek.

431
00:32:38,767 --> 00:32:40,867
That was the first thing we all
thought, "Holy [bleep],

432
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:42,667
she just threw that gun
out in the creek."

433
00:32:45,967 --> 00:32:48,100
The dive team showed up
at the bridge,

434
00:32:49,300 --> 00:32:52,467
and they did their process
as far as searching for the gun.

435
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:55,900
Are we gonna find
something there?

436
00:32:58,567 --> 00:33:00,767
My thoughts are,
there's no way.

437
00:33:01,667 --> 00:33:02,166
There's a young man from
the local news,

438
00:33:03,100 --> 00:33:04,266
and my first question
to that reporter is,

439
00:33:05,066 --> 00:33:05,900
"Hey, when is this
gonna be on TV?"

440
00:33:06,834 --> 00:33:08,066
And he said it would be on
11 o'clock news.

441
00:33:09,467 --> 00:33:11,066
Evansville is not
a huge community.

442
00:33:11,967 --> 00:33:13,900
But you look up and there's

443
00:33:14,834 --> 00:33:16,367
news media trucks lined across
this bridge.

444
00:33:17,066 --> 00:33:17,667
They were all over the story.

445
00:33:21,467 --> 00:33:25,200
We then got the thumbs-up that
there was a discovery,

446
00:33:25,900 --> 00:33:27,166
and the diver did a great job.

447
00:33:28,367 --> 00:33:30,000
He found it in pitch dark water
and he pulled that thing up

448
00:33:30,633 --> 00:33:31,266
and I'll never forget it.

449
00:33:32,467 --> 00:33:33,367
And the next thing you know,
you're looking at a slide from

450
00:33:33,867 --> 00:33:34,467
a Smith & Wesson.

451
00:33:37,567 --> 00:33:39,367
So this is more
icing on the cake.

452
00:33:42,100 --> 00:33:46,367
We had enough probable cause
to get arrest warrants

453
00:33:46,934 --> 00:33:48,867
for Justin and Amber.

454
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,100
But we could not locate them
here in the city of Evansville.

455
00:34:01,967 --> 00:34:05,600
It might have taken us a week
or two, but, then we got, um--

456
00:34:06,767 --> 00:34:08,500
I was on a date night with
my wife and got a confirmation

457
00:34:09,567 --> 00:34:11,867
from the FBI that Amber
and Justin were in custody,

458
00:34:12,834 --> 00:34:14,867
in Chamblee, Georgia,
just outside Atlanta.

459
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,600
She was stopped while
texting and driving.

460
00:34:20,667 --> 00:34:22,500
So at that point,
things were going good.

461
00:34:23,700 --> 00:34:25,000
With them in custody,

462
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,800
you'd love to sit down
face-to-face with them,

463
00:34:28,834 --> 00:34:30,767
look them eye-to-eye,
and get a full confession.

464
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,967
Justin Brewer refused
to speak to investigators,

465
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,467
but Amber decided to speak with
law enforcement.

466
00:34:43,467 --> 00:34:44,266
Yeah.

467
00:34:52,567 --> 00:34:55,166
Myself and Detective Lowe
walked in there thinking,

468
00:34:55,867 --> 00:34:56,767
"OK, what are we gonna hear?"

469
00:35:01,967 --> 00:35:05,200
Are we going to hear some story
that does not jive with any of

470
00:35:05,767 --> 00:35:06,667
the evidence we have?

471
00:35:10,667 --> 00:35:12,266
Or is she gonna
tell us the truth?

472
00:35:30,567 --> 00:35:32,967
2
Amber Brewer did decide to
speak with law enforcement.

473
00:36:01,467 --> 00:36:05,367
Amber basically told us that
the night of the murder,

474
00:36:06,367 --> 00:36:08,367
Justin was wanting
to get a little bag of weed.

475
00:36:24,734 --> 00:36:26,834
She said she picked Justin up.

476
00:36:28,033 --> 00:36:31,367
They drove to the southeast side
of Evansville

477
00:36:32,500 --> 00:36:34,233
to meet Delvin that night.

478
00:37:00,266 --> 00:37:04,367
She gets in the back passenger
seat of Delvin's car,

479
00:37:06,266 --> 00:37:08,266
and Justin gets in
the front seat.

480
00:37:10,100 --> 00:37:11,667
They drive around
a little while.

481
00:37:36,934 --> 00:37:38,767
Justin's got a gun
pointing at Delvin.

482
00:37:40,834 --> 00:37:43,367
And she says she jumps out of
the car and takes off running.

483
00:37:44,700 --> 00:37:48,000
And she gets a short distance
and hears some gunshots.

484
00:37:50,567 --> 00:37:51,867
People give false confessions.

485
00:37:53,300 --> 00:37:56,367
We did not find anything
deceitful in her interview
with us.

486
00:37:57,433 --> 00:37:59,066
Everything was consistent
with our investigation.

487
00:38:21,033 --> 00:38:25,033
So after she tells us this
story, you're pretty confident

488
00:38:25,667 --> 00:38:26,266
you've had the right guy.

489
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,033
You've been hearing his name.
He's made calls to you.

490
00:38:33,233 --> 00:38:34,333
It all matches up.

491
00:38:36,867 --> 00:38:39,867
Mr. Mitchell was a very young
man, and to be killed over

492
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:41,100
a bag of marijuana.

493
00:38:42,467 --> 00:38:43,567
It is tragic.

494
00:38:45,767 --> 00:38:48,133
He's not gonna get his life
back, and the family doesn't

495
00:38:48,567 --> 00:38:50,333
have him back.

496
00:38:51,500 --> 00:38:52,767
I don't know if it's a lack of
respect for a human person

497
00:38:53,834 --> 00:38:56,567
or it's just the disdain for
not getting something

498
00:38:57,667 --> 00:38:58,667
you think you deserve.
I don't know what causes this.

499
00:39:03,734 --> 00:39:06,266
Amber testifies
against her husband.

500
00:39:07,266 --> 00:39:09,000
She was charged
with obstruction.

501
00:39:12,266 --> 00:39:14,033
She was released on
time served.

502
00:39:17,467 --> 00:39:20,367
Justin was ultimately
charged with murder.

503
00:39:22,233 --> 00:39:25,934
They found him guilty.
He was sentenced.

504
00:39:26,934 --> 00:39:28,467
And the judge recommended
85 years in prison.

505
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,667
Scarlett was ultimately
convicted of

506
00:39:34,767 --> 00:39:36,266
obstruction of justice
for lying to law enforcement.

507
00:39:38,100 --> 00:39:41,600
And she was sentenced
to two years and 182 days.

508
00:39:44,567 --> 00:39:47,266
We've done phone calls before
where people have actually

509
00:39:48,166 --> 00:39:49,166
called in and talked to
law enforcement,

510
00:39:49,834 --> 00:39:51,333
knowing they're the suspect.

511
00:39:52,367 --> 00:39:53,767
They want to know what
the word on the street is,

512
00:39:54,900 --> 00:39:57,233
but curiosity kills the cat
sometimes, and that's what

513
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:58,367
happened in this case.

514
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,000
In my mind, in my heart,
I hope the family knows that

515
00:40:04,133 --> 00:40:06,166
we did everything we could
and that we did get justice

516
00:40:06,567 --> 00:40:07,333
for Delvin.

517
00:40:11,667 --> 00:40:14,333
Delvin, he was a star.

518
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,100
I mean, he was just...

519
00:40:19,066 --> 00:40:20,166
great!

520
00:40:23,467 --> 00:40:25,266
He didn't really get
a chance to even...

521
00:40:26,867 --> 00:40:27,967
live life.

522
00:40:31,133 --> 00:40:32,734
I'm still having trouble
with it.

523
00:40:35,133 --> 00:40:36,066
I sit at home all the time.

524
00:40:36,834 --> 00:40:37,400
I really don't
deal with anybody.

525
00:40:38,767 --> 00:40:39,934
I don't deal with anybody.

526
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:46,500
I hope Justin...

527
00:40:47,834 --> 00:40:51,600
really thinks about what
he done and how bad he impacted

528
00:40:52,066 --> 00:40:52,734
a lot of people.

529
00:40:55,100 --> 00:40:57,033
Dalvin was the joy
of a lot of our lives.

530
00:41:00,767 --> 00:41:02,333
And now we don't have
that joy no more.

531
00:41:04,333 --> 00:41:05,500
You stole that joy from us.

532
00:41:09,266 --> 00:41:10,734
He took my bestest friend.

533
00:41:14,500 --> 00:41:16,367
So I'm hurt,
still to this day.

534
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:21,500
He was the life of the party.

535
00:41:25,767 --> 00:41:27,000
There ain't no more parties
no more.
